A continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) system consisting of a wireless, subcutaneously implantable glucose sensor and a body-worn transmitter is described and clinical performance over a 28 day implant period in 12 type 1 diabetic patients is reported. The implantable sensor is constructed of a fluorescent, boronic-acid based glucose indicating polymer coated onto a miniaturized, polymer-encased optical detection system. The external transmitter wirelessly communicates with and powers the sensor and contains Bluetooth capability for interfacing with a Smartphone application. The accuracy of 19 implanted sensors were evaluated over 28 days during 6 in-clinic sessions by comparing the CGM glucose values to venous blood glucose measurements taken every 15 min. Mean absolute relative difference (MARD) for all sensors was 11.6±0.7%, and Clarke error grid analysis showed that 99% of paired data points were in the combined A and B zones.
